**A Closer Look at the RS3 with OPF Tune**

As we take a closer look at the Audi RS3, it's clear that this car has been modified to give it an extra kick. The owner, Roy, has opted for an OPF (Over-Piston Fuel) tune, which means that the engine has been upgraded to produce 500 horsepower and 700 Newton meters of torque. This significant increase in power is evident when we take the RS3 out for a spin.

With the traction control system turned off, we can feel the full potential of this car's performance. The owner mentions that with this tune, the car accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds, which is a significant improvement over the stock time of 4.1 seconds. This increase in speed and power is thanks to the engine's newfound capabilities.

One of the standout features of the OPF tune is its ability to produce a more balanced sound. The owner notes that this setup provides a "nice balance of sound" compared to the more aggressive tone of an RS3 with an R8-style back exhaust. This, combined with the car's five-cylinder engine, creates a unique and distinctive sound that is sure to turn heads.

Driving the RS3 with an OPF tune, we find that it's not exactly the most engaging driving experience. The owner mentions that the steering feels "numb" around the center, making it difficult to get a sense of feedback from the road. However, this is likely due to the modifications made to the car's suspension and chassis, which prioritize stability and speed over handling.

Despite this, the RS3 with an OPF tune is still capable of delivering impressive performance. When driven on the Autobahn, we find that it's able to maintain high speeds with ease, thanks in part to its upgraded tires, which are rated for 300 km/h.

**The PetrolVibes Silhouette**

As we take a break from driving the RS3, we're reminded of our sponsor for today: PetrolVibes. This German company specializes in creating unique and stylish car silhouettes made from high-quality steel. The owner of the RS3 has used one of these silhouettes to decorate his workshop, and it looks absolutely stunning.

PetrolVibes offers a range of designs, including those based on popular cars like the Ferrari F12. Their silhouettes are not only visually striking but also durable and long-lasting. If you're looking to add some style to your own car or workspace, PetrolVibes is definitely worth checking out.

**On the Road with Roy's RS3**

As we continue our journey with Roy's RS3, we find ourselves on a winding road, where the car's handling is put to the test. The owner mentions that while the car can be quite stable at high speeds, it does tend to understeer in certain situations.

Despite this, the RS3 is still capable of delivering impressive performance. When pushed hard, the car accelerates quickly and smoothly, thanks to its upgraded engine and transmission. However, we do notice a slight delay in the gear shifts, which can be attributed to the modifications made to the gearbox.

Overall, driving the RS3 with an OPF tune is a unique experience that prioritizes speed and stability over handling and feedback. While it may not be the most engaging car to drive, it's certainly capable of delivering impressive performance on the right roads.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up ladies and gentlemen and welcome to this POV review by Auto top andal my name is Max and today we've got another viewer score and today is a special viewer because Roy has been watching for a long time originally from Israel and now living near Berlin in Germany uh so just amazing uh that we can drive your car Roy really appreciate it 2018 Audi RS3 sedan really really cool car with a stage one tune I'll show you around it and then we'll take it for a drive towards the old man for an Autobahn blast now the spec is very cool black with silver so we have all the classic Audi RS stuff uh like this brushed aluminum look trim down here in the bumper on the side here the grill surround as well you don't see it that often anymore everyone just replaces it with black stuff or uh fake carbon or carbon or whatever but I really really like the chrome trim the the old-school Audi RS trim because if you stand right in front of it it looks like it has a hint of that old RS4 like the B seven which is very very cool yeah it's a good looking car still I think Roy did install these different Wheels with around that we've got Bridgestone all season tires not great for high speed also not great for braking brakes also not great for braking uh yeah these cars are notoriously bad on their brakes and you can get Ceramics on this RS3 but those are not great either so yeah breaking all this generation RS3 is not great but this is a 19-inch wheel fits the car really well beautiful with the Chrome mirrors and windows surround no privacy glass just a regular old very very nice RS3 with the chrome bumper trim as well and an exhaust this car has had a resonator delete which is very nice and a stage one tune for the ECU and the TCU so the transmission the seven speed dual clutch transmission has been tuned as well oh that's quite hot so I'll just get that back in place for you Roy there we go so the five cylinder two and a half liter dazza engine uh which is the later generation with the aluminum uh under block which is a better version basically 400 horsepower 480 newton meters of torque stock this car stage one plus apparently uh does 500 horsepower and around 700 newton meters of torque so that is quite healthy uh I mean it's such a lovely lovely engine really really good especially with that resonator the lead and nothing else basically it sounds really good so interior we've got the lovely bucket seats here with that very cool stitching little holes there as well and then we'll go to now Katara a partly Alcantara RS steering wheel with these massive pedal extensions I'm actually not a big fan of that because uh it's meant to be able to shift like from down here as well but as you can see you don't shift you just Flex the pedal so you still need to shift there because I need to really pull it hard if I want to do it there so that's not great uh maybe just replace the entire pedal that would be better I think and then down here we've got the gear lever I do really like this trim with that Chrome and that red very nice and then yeah we've got a starter button cover here that looks like a welding mask yeah pretty much it uh it's uh yeah it's it's quite a basic clean interior of this and that means that it still works I think because you know you do have okay you do have a screen of course which feels super outdated if you look at it now so this is fine I mean everything you need is in there but if you don't want to look at it you can just get rid of it which is super nice you have a clean interior yeah like that okay let's go for a drive so traction control all the way off and let's have a nice little Drive so this is a pre-opf car with a resonator delete and that means that you have such a nice balance of sound because oh you do here that five cylinder and you hear it a lot better than in an obf car you know for starters but even like if you would have an RS3 with OPF back exhaust uh this is so so much better so the stage one tune 500 horsepower and uh 700 newton meters of torque of course also means that the performance is increased we did like 3.6 seconds to 100 which is quite quick stock there we go stock 4.1 seconds so that is a good increase of performance there from this tune now driving wise of course that's not really where this car shines you don't have that much feedback through the steering wheel as you can see it's quite numb around the center and it doesn't really give that much feedback it's more meant to just point and shoot you know just point it floor it and go in that Direction it doesn't really matter if it's wet or dry he'll just go in that direction and you'll go there quickly so little tunnel oh it does have that that really really cool five cylinder Edge that raw Edge so nice if you have a cool car and you want to submit it uh send us an email on this very address and uh yeah send us a couple of photos and some info we'll see if we can feature York or on our Channel as well like Roy's car which is amazing really like driving you guys cars because they're all different so with this tune they also extended the RPM so the Red Line is now at seven and a half thousand RPM as you can see on the rev counter there instead of seven so yeah it uh it definitely has a very nice aggressive character especially in the manual gearbox mode the shifts are a bit harder than stock as well picks up nicely I do feel some kind of like small dips in power sometimes going through a gear but most of the time it picks up really well but before we hit the Autobahn I just want to tell you about today's sponsor which is petrol Vibes we've got the F12 on the wall here as you can see we have used it to dress our Workshop it looks absolutely stunning I love a good silhouette of a car and you can buy this too at petrolvibes.com it is made from two millimeter thick steel they laser cut that thank you you can even have one custom made of your own gar if they don't have it in stock already so go check out petrolvibes.com they have a lot of cool cars they've got motorcycles as well and if you use the code Auto top on L10 you get a 10 discount on your very own petrol Vibes silhouette go check it out and enjoy the video so there we go let's see what these pulses are made of oh that's a lot of understeer there we go up to the Ultima let's find out what this thing can do of course this is what the RS3 has been made for especially the sedan it's been made to carry four people and their luggage at high speed the tires are rated at 300 kilometers an kles now okay season so squeegee and rolly and soft that was 2.95 something like that not bad so it does move so kicked out gearbox has to think for like two tenths of a second and we're off so 100 to 200 we also measure that of course so we did like 8.3 seconds which is quite quick but I do feel like for a delivery it is kind of flowing a little bit so I sometimes get a little bit more and then it dips a bit and then I get a bit more again running the uh through the gear basically the power is not running that smooth it is there I mean the power is definitely there you can see that it goes quite quickly just don't really trust those brakes there we go so a little bit more space on this side it is quite stable though at really high speed you can you know start to feel those tires but this is really good actually it's a bit too busy to to really try and see what it will do but uh I'm not unhappy with that on a day like this so I'm going to end it here Roy thank you so
